A police officer responding from nearby Fulshear, who was assisting the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office, shot Christy Sheats while she held the gun used in the shooting, police said.
“The cops were behind the trees and behind the cars, and they told the mom to put the gun down and obviously she did not,” Zainuddin told KPRC. “She walked towards the body, I think Madison, already on the ground and I guess the cop was afraid that she was going to shoot her again.”
Christy Sheats and Madison Sheats were pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Taylor Sheats was taken by a medical helicopter to a local hospital, where she later died.
The murder weapon, a five-shot .38 caliber handgun, was recovered at the scene, police said.
